New from Great Lakes Orthodontics, the Odyssey® 3Watt Diode Laser is specifically designed for a myriad of soft-tissue applications and preventive care. The Odyssey 3Watt, manufactured by Ivoclar Vivadent, is the most compact, portable, and affordable soft-tissue laser in dentistry today.
Engineered with a 810 ± 20nm wavelength, the Odyssey’s affinity for soft-tissue applications makes it increasingly popular and practical for orthodontic patient care. Tissue sculpting with the Odyssey 3Watt allows for optimal bracket placement. The diode laser efficiently exposes the surface of unerupted or partially erupted target teeth to facilitate early bracket placement, greatly reducing orthodontic treatment time. It is also highly effective for correcting gingival hyperplasia.
In addition, the diode laser is ideal for gingival contouring and symmetry for those patients, particularly adults, who desire a more esthetic smile after completing orthodontic treatment. Fast, effective hemostasis alleviates lesions associated with traditional soft tissue modification.
This diode laser is practical for other dental treatments including crown exposure, gingival troughing for impression making, apthous ulcer treatment and frenectomies. Outcomes are achieved with maximum patient comfort, minimal to no anesthetics, and patients experience almost immediate recovery.
The Odyssey offers a significant return on investment by increasing productivity through more efficient technology. Routine soft-tissue procedures are performed faster, with greater reliability and can now be added to the practice’s list of services to enhance revenue.
The Odyssey 3Watt features a retractable optical fiber, reducing costs due to accidental fiber breakage. Laser output is precisely delivered in both continuous and pulse wave modes for smooth and clean tissue modification. The small footprint conserves counter space, and at 5.5 pounds, offers lightweight, simple portability.
